Frequently Asked.

Pilates by Bryony is a modern movement method that combines classical and contemporary Pilates, designed to transform the way women move, feel and live through an online Pilates and wellness platform. Pilates by Bryony is available via iOS and Android and our website www.pilatesbybryony.com.

Bryony is the founder of Pilates by Bryony. She discovered Pilates after a car accident at 18 while searching for a way to rebuild her body and heal her injuries. What began as part of her recovery quickly became something much more powerful that she believed in so strongly and wanted to share with the women around her. Pilates changed the way she moved, but also the way she felt in her own body, giving her strength, confidence and a deeper sense of connection to herself. That experience ultimately inspired her to create Pilates by Bryony.

Pilates by Bryony began with Bryony teaching classes on Zoom to a small community of women who wanted to move with purpose and feel stronger in their bodies. What started with just 10 people has since grown into a global movement platform, with thousands of women around the world practising with Pilates by Bryony.

The Pilates by Bryony Method carefully combines classical and contemporary Pilates to create a practice that is effective and challenging, while still feeling considered and supportive. The method is designed to strengthen the body, support the mind and help women feel more confident and connected in the way they move through everyday life. At its core, Pilates by Bryony is about purposeful movement and consistency rather than extremes. Meaningful transformation comes from the small promises you make to yourself and the confidence you build each time you keep them.

Pilates by Bryony is designed for everyone. Women and men who want to feel stronger, more connected and more confident in their bodies. Whether you're completely new to Pilates or have been practising for years, you'll find classes, programmes and different focuses to help you build a movement practice around your lifestyle, experience and goals.

Absolutely. You don't need any previous Pilates experience to get started. Our Foundation classes are a great place to begin as a beginner. They're designed to help you understand the essential principles of Pilates, become familiar with key movements and build confidence before progressing at your own pace.

Not at all. You don't need to be flexible or have a certain level of fitness to practise Pilates. Pilates by Bryony is designed to help you build strength, mobility, control and confidence over time. Start where you are, listen to your body and progress at your own pace.

The app offers Pilates classes from 5 to 45 minutes, for every level from beginner to advanced. Choose from full-body and targeted workouts, technique-led sessions, pre and postnatal movement, and slower restorative practices, with or without equipment. You'll also find meditation, breathwork and mindfulness classes, because we believe caring for your mind is just as important as moving your body.

There's always something new to discover on Pilates by Bryony. Every week, you can expect at least one new class, one new recipe, one new meditation and one new group class, giving you fresh ways to move, reset and stay inspired.

No. You'll find plenty of classes that require little or no equipment, so you can get started with just yourself, a mat and some space to move. Other classes incorporate equipment to add challenge and variety. Any equipment required will be clearly indicated before you begin. Every class can be done using your own body weight — it's totally up to you and how you feel that day.

Depending on the class, you may see Bryony use a Pilates ball, resistance bands, Pilates ring, ankle weights, hand weights, dumbbells, sliders and a mat. You don't need to own every piece of equipment to enjoy Pilates by Bryony, and you can choose classes based on the equipment available to you.

Yes. You can filter classes by duration, making it easy to find something that fits the time you have available.

Pilates by Bryony is designed to help you create a consistent movement routine, but how often you practise will depend on your body, your experience and the type of movement you're doing. Always listen to your body, allow yourself appropriate recovery and choose the type and intensity of movement that feels right for you that day. We recommend at least one full rest day per week.

Absolutely. Pilates by Bryony can be your main movement practice or complement other forms of exercise you enjoy. With classes ranging from challenging Method sessions to slower Restore practices, you can choose your movement based on what your body needs that day.

Yes. Pilates by Bryony offers a dedicated Pre and Postnatal programme designed to support you throughout pregnancy and as you return to movement after giving birth. Before beginning or returning to exercise, you should always get clearance from your doctor or healthcare professional and follow any individual advice they give you. Once cleared, listen to your body, move at your own pace and never push yourself beyond what feels comfortable or introduce movements that aren't appropriate for you at that stage. Every class within our Pre and Postnatal section is clearly labelled First Trimester, Second Trimester, Third Trimester or Postnatal, so please make sure you choose and follow the classes designed for your current stage. Every pregnancy and recovery is different. Take your time, follow the guidance provided within each class and speak to your healthcare professional if you're ever unsure about exercising or a particular movement.

Dedicated Menopause content is coming soon to Pilates by Bryony.

If you have an injury, medical condition or any concerns about exercising, please speak to an appropriate healthcare professional before beginning or returning to exercise. Pilates by Bryony is not a substitute for individual medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.
